SECRETARY (PRO TEM.) Frederick Wilkins, Esp. The Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great Financial Associations recently established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un deniable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus relieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un less supported by joint-stock enterprise. This Company has, therefore, been formed far lic the pur- Pose of undertaking the execu tion of great pubworks, and arrangements have been entered into with well known contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contracts handed over to the Company is that for the construction of the European C en tral Rail willway, which has been secured on fav ourable terms, and be Commenced forthwith. The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work 43 n terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining a lar ge interest in the Company b y receiving paym t ent for he transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great cora- Mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources in to Insure their completion. This Compa n y , combining the "'Aimee of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co operations at home and abroad , with administrative experi 'epee and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence 2 1 1 the part of governm ents, public bod ies, and the great !I - uncial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms. Prospectuses, w ith forms of applic ation, may b e obtained at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli citors, and Bankers. In the event of no allotment bein g made the deposits will oe returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposi ts will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

This company has been formed with the view of developand ing the agr i cu ltural, manufacturing, commercial, mineral resources of Ireland, and providing for that country those pecun i ar y facilities which have so much contributed to the a d va ncement a nd p rosperity of the other portions of the United Kingdom. It is proposed that this company should act— istly. As a Finance Company, for negotiating and making advances upon approved real and personal securities, s ki g necessary the using and dealing in the same. The taking contracts for railways or other works ; the recei business moneys on deposit, and generally transacting financia Principal or agent. 2dly, As a Land Credit Company, for buying, selling, making advances on, and dealing in real property of all descriptions and tenures, and of all estates and interests therein, including the erection of buildings thereon, and improving, or repairing the same. 3dly, As a Lan Imovement Company, f or reclaiming, draining, and i m proving pr lands, and making and construct• hag roads, and executing all works ; and, either as principal °r agent, making estimates and entering into contracts for the same. 4thly, As agent, by affording facilities for the association of capitalists desirous of taking a limited interest in remu nerative undertakings of a local character, either privately or by introducing them to the public. The wet and waste lands of Ireland amount to more than 6,000,000 acres, affording a fruitful field for the employment of capital by reclamation and drainage. Capital can alsor o be profitably employed in making advances on land other property with the Landed Estates Court and other good titles. The want of this association has been long experienced by those most competent to form a sound judgment on such a question; and it is generally admitted t the proper time has arrived when such a n undertakipg can be successfully tarried out. The articles of association m ay be seen at the solicitors f th e com pany. In the event of no allotment being made th e d e p o sits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be allotted than are applied for, the deposits will be made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The Company has. been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Messrs. Martin 'Samuelson and Co., of HulL The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom—they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water frontage to the river /lumber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet. The TiTi.,sent iron chip-building power of the establishment is equa, to the construction of 20,00) tons per annum, at which rate ls the works are now being carried on. Me ips ssrs. Saardeon and Company have orders on hand for shex ceeAing 20,000 tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present yaed, rd, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company iiave secur so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand tor ships, and to erect rollin4:c mills for the manufacture of the iron required for ship builaing, for all kinds of railway and engineering works. as well as In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship building yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a highly ,-,,rofitable part of the busi ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel s,n and Company construct:A it at a considerable cost some years ago. The situation of this "establishment gives it special advan tages over others of a tike character. The pri e of ship-build ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of ;;he kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire; r.,010 is cheap, railways run into theghts works, andvery connect *:hem with all parts of England. Frei are offers ad from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. all Two thousand workmen are no w employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, eng ,and general engineering work amount to abov e L300,.00, at very nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that after making large allowances -3) per cent. off the capabilities nt of the e wor as, the trade will, with the j udicious manageme employment of the capital, ref urn a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to the shareholders, and II the works Continue to be fully employed, a much larger amount. Tha to ms of urchase are high l y advantageous ; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to bo taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net profits, but on an average of three years' working. In the event of no allotment being made. the deposits will be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted than is app ied for, the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant.

The weather was most agreeable, and the grounds were filled with a numerous assemblage of visitors, ad mitted by printed tickets only. The sports com menced at 11 a.m., with the game of throwing the cricket-ball, the best throw over a distance of 92.1 yards, having been made by Mr. Fanshawe. This was succeeded by a flat race, in which there were 26 competitors. The race was cleverly won by Mr. Btiscoe, Mr. Crookenden coming in second. At half-past 11 Mr. Crookenden again came forward, together with Mr. Medhurst and Mr. Moore, for the third game, namely, standing high jump over a raised bar 4ft. 2in. high. It was won by Mr. Med hurst. A running high jump followed next, over a bar 6ft. 2in. high, which was admirably executed by Mr. Dyce. A hurde race was next performed over a distance of 130 yards and a flight of 12 hur dles. Daring this race, in which there were 21 competitors, Prince Arthur, accompanied by Major Elphinstone, entered the grounds from Greenwich Park, and took his place on the Grand Stand. He was joined by Major-Gen. Sandham, the Lieut.- Governor; Major• Gen. Sir Richard Dacres, com mending the garrison, and Staff, and other officers and their families. This was a most interesting race. Mr. Briscoe came in a good first, and was followed by Mr. Awdry, second, and Mr. Medhurst third. A fencing match next took place, and was gained by Mr. Pulford. The seventh game consisted of throwing a half-hundred weight, which was won by Mr. Crookenden, whose final throw was 18ft Gin. At a quarter past 1 a flat race commenced with 27 candidates. The race was well contested. The dis tance was 440 yards, which was accomplished in 69 seconds, Mr Briscoe coming in first, Mr. Pulford second, and Mr. Dodsworth third. The next per formance was leaping with the pole. The best leap was made by Mr. Beaver over a bar 9ft. 3in. high. Then followed a most fatiguing race, one mile in length, 32 starting in the contest and continuing it with great spirit until within a few yards of the goal, when the majority gave ia.

A rua• ing lilt race was nest entered by 30 runnere, over a dir,tacce of 680 yards, which was done in 2 min. 17 sec. Mr. ruliord and Mr. Buckle making a dead heat, and Mr. Dodsworth a good third. A most amusing hopping race next came on, and was won by Mr. Crookenden. Afterwards there was a hurdle race over 440 yards and 20 flights of hurdles. This occupied only 1 min. 12 sec.—Mr, Awdry first, Mr. Briscoe second, and Mr. Buckle third. The consolation race commenced at 5 o'clock over a piece of ground representing a rugged country, inter spersed with film banks, and brooks five or six feet deep. Some eight or ten cadets started for this race, which caused considerable merriment, as they plunged boldly, with one exception, into the first brook. The race then lay with Mr. Tisdall alone, who cleared the brooks and came in the winner. The final, or 20th, game consisted of a strangers' race of 200 yards over 15 hurdles, open to all comers, and terminated shortly before 6, when the prizes were awarded by Mrs. General Sandham, wife of the Governor, in the following erder :—To Mr. Fanshawe an elegant dressing-case ; to Mr. Briscoe three prizes—a silver cup, a ring, dreseing•case, and opera glass ; Mr. Crookenden an opera glass, a pin, a silver cup, a crop and spurs, and a desk; Mr. Awdry a locket, hunting-flask, a whip, and silver cup; Mr. Dyce a set of studs, &c. ; Mr. Medhurst a dressing case, a fishing-rod, and silver cup; Mr. Pulford, foils, &a., a ring, and cup ; Mr. Dods worth, a ridingwhip ; Mr. Beaver, a silver cup; Mr. Buckle, a revolver, crop and spurs, a ring, a powder-flask and shot pouch ; Mr. Black, a rifle ; Mr. Clarke, a pipe ; Mr. Smythe, a pin ; Mr. Tisdall, a cup; Mr. Gower, a racket bat; Mr. Briscoe, the winner of most marks, a clock by the Lieutenant- Governor ; and to Mr. Crookenden, the winner of the greatest number of prizes, an opera glass, pre sented by Prince Arthur. epeak French, was stczustomed to de: , .l with divio matists; uud wae'et ‘ m.313 of tile warll.

Baron Brnonow begged to remark that in the event of any such propoosl bt leg made he should at once leave the table. Count Appanyi said he had received instruction% to act rather with Russia th .n with Prussia, but he did not know exactly what his instraclions were, as Biegeleben had got them, and would not shoe them to him. Baron Biegeleben explained that he had drawn them up himself, and insinuated that he had drawn up every Austrian State paper of any conso4uence. since the Frankfort Conferenco. Baron De Beust said that the less he alluded to he Frankfort Conference the better. At this moment the proceedings were interrupted by Lord Clarendon, who requested to ba allowed to shake hands all rourd. The noble lord rose frora his seat, and pressed the hand of each member to his heart. Mr. Stuart made a note of this affecting episode. Baron Da Beust resumed in a calmer tone, stating. that he was prepared to support every proposition emanating from the French Ambassador, without even taking the trouble to listen to it. Count Bernstorff said that his instructions wen ) to yield nothing, to object to everything, and to propose the annexation of the Duohies to Germany under conditions which should exclude the Augu E . tenburgs, maintain the integrity of Denmark, and, render the influence of PIMSitl paramount. Privy Councillor Bailin remarked that M. Bis not the sort of min to stand any none.en2e, and that you never knew what ho wns up to.

In accordance with this request, thry were handed :o Mr. Stuart, to be translated by that gentleman, - rom tho orig nal Swediel-,. Councillor Krieger remarked thut he belonged to the Eider Dane party, and would bring forward r 4 proposition for a United Scandinavia. Baron De Bille annonecnd his intention of car dially co•operating with his collelpes in achieving thi s solution, when he received a violent kick on the shins from M. Quaade. At this moment Lord Clarendon again requested permission to shake hands all round. Lord Russell then proposed an armistice, which. was agreed to by Baron De 13:11e and M. Quaade, as between themselves, but dissented from, upon, general principles, by everybody else. Count Bernstorff complained that Lord Russell bad taken the Conference by surprise. It was then arranged that the members should telegraph to their respective Governments for in structions how to meet this unexpected proposal. The meeting then adjourned.

This company Is established for the purpose of acquiring the business '',and connectiors of ex sting provincial Bank ing Establtdfiments at d of carrying en, generally, the opera tions of Jouutry Banking on the Joint-Stock pri ciple Trrzaties are now pendin, for the purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the Mike of a large and flourishing bank; and, for that purpose, full powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the Articles of Asso ration. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London; but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con nections of cx st ng banks, i is intended to open branches in provincial cities and towns where, owing to the increase of wealth and population, a satisfactcry business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation of two of the largest private banks in London with joint stock establishments, to lowing other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous advance in the pi ice of banking shares generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint stock association in banking business. If the system of banking carried on by public companies is admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap • plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of trade in the country genera ly has crea ed a demand for fur ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro polis that the requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Shares of the three Banks in London constituted for simiiar ohjeots are now quoted as follows, viz. : Paid. Present Prices. The National Provincial £l2 £4l The London and County The Provincial Bank cf Ireland 25 .. 93 In further illustration of the profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur ing the past three years, it will be found on inspection of the official list that, out of that number, the shares of all but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up capital.
